Astral Disaster
At the turn of the millennium the original „Astral Disaster“ subcription-only vinyl release was somewhat of an Unholy Grail for Coil collectors! Virtually unobtainable in its original fiercely limited format of only 99 copies, it is the only album apart from the original „Musick to play in the Dark“ record to combine the genius of Balance and Sleazy with both Drew McDowall and Thighpaulsandra's talents.
Like „Musick“ it is an essentially tidal/lunar record with literal washes of sound enveloping…
Love & Noise
Reemerging three decades on, C.C.C.C.’s Love & Noise hits vinyl for the first time, a still‑devastating artefact where Mayuko Hino’s charged electronics and Hiroshi Hasegawa’s Moog storms turn harsh sonics into something crushing, psychedelic and strangely exultant.
In A Small Room, Decades Ago
“Hanging in the chill out rooms of the 1990’s rave scene inspired me to create my first ambient album, Atmospherics over 30 years ago. For this album I wanted to journey back and create a love letter to those magical times, and the energy that was felt in those small rooms decades ago.” - JB
Phlegm
A late and welcome arrival from the Matchless vaults. Phlegm captures AMM in their classic trio configuration, Eddie Prévost on percussion, Keith Rowe on tabletop electronics, John Tilbury on piano, recorded live at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, November 2015. One continuous hour-long piece, a setting closely aligned with the group's longstanding commitment to electroacoustic improvisation and one of the final documented performances of the trio.
By this stage AMM's language had …
Tract: A Composition of Agitprop Music for Electromagnetic Tape
"A Composition of Agitprop Music for Electromagnetic Tape" by İlhan Mimaroğlu is a collage of political sound art blending revolutionary texts, manipulated electronics, and the vocal performance of Tülay German. Recorded from 1972–74, it transforms agitprop tradition into a radical meditation on freedom and dissent.
Vol.1
Two masked creatures from Saguenay, Quebec, who communicate only in guttural alien grunts, have managed to become the most talked-about band on the planet - and the funniest part is that nobody can explain exactly why. Maybe because Angine De Poitrine - Khn de Poitrine on a custom-built double-neck microtonal guitar/bass with loop pedals, Klek de Poitrine on drums and percussion - are simply too good to ignore. Behind the papier-mâché masks, the polka-dot costumes and the pyramid hand signs lies…
Dialoghi del Presente
Naples, 1977. Luciano Cilio's sole recorded work is pure magic - four "quadri" where strings, woodwinds, wordless voices and solitary guitar trace the edges of silence. Closer to Arvo Pärt and Morton Feldman than to any Italian prog, yet entirely its own universe. Music that breathes, suspends time, breaks your heart without raising its voice. Decades ahead of its time. First ever remaster from the original tapes.
Fraction Sur Le Temps
At last, in stock now!! Urban Sax's third LP was recorded in 1982 & 1985, and released in 1985 on Celluloid, and it is an absolute diamond - sharing Julian Cope words "Everything starts with this massive (and I mean it...we're basically talking about something the size of an orchestra here) wash of sound, like something dropped wholesale out of the trippier parts of Ligeti's material in the "2001" soundtrack. Then we get swept into the primal repetition of a simple motif...very Magma-like, save …
Live at Somewhere
"I call it ‘the Shadow Pattern Vignette’. A fragmentary and pleasingly non-discriminatory exercise in audio capture which, when sequenced, compiled or arranged alongside other such vignettes, leads to the finished work of Nate Ivanco’s Shadow Pattern. You can reach into the hermetic depths of his Hamilton Tapes micro label, recent transatlantic appearances via Infant Tree, Chocolate Monk or adhuman, or indeed, this new LP ‘Live at Somewhere’ and find the Shadow Pattern Vignette. Forever in evide…
Actual Earth Music - Volume 3 & 4
Earthball are an avant/noise/rock wrecking ball of a band from Nanaimo, Canada. Rooted in total improvisation, free expression, and a deeply psychedelic sensibility, EarthBall operate on pure instinct. They hurtle onwards in a combustion of spontaneous composition, shooting from the hip, as they fall out of the sky ablaze. The group encompass Isabel Ford (vocals, bass), John Brennan (drums, percussion), Jeremy Van Wyke (vocals, guitar, trumpet), Kellan Maclaughlin (guitar, talkbox), and Liam Mur…
Archives Box 1983-2005
A spellbinding five-CD box set documenting the entire enigmatic production of one of the missing links in experimental electronic and prototypical industrial music: Anne Gillis. From her groundbreaking 1983 Devil's Picnic release through her 2005 installations and exhibitions, this comprehensive collection unveils the hidden world of a visionary French composer whose work anticipated much of what would follow in electroacoustic composition and sound art.
Since the early 1980s, Manon Anne Gillis …
Smelter
Second album by DNMF, the duo formed between Machinefabriek and the Dutch droning free-jazz combo Dead Neanderthals. Across some forty minutes Smelter develops a highly dynamic amalgam of metal, drone and dark ambient, the heaviness of the Neanderthals' instrumental mass folded into Zuydervelt's electroacoustic processing. The result moves between glacial expansive stasis and dense ferrous noise, holding the two registers in productive friction without resolving them into either.
Worn Tape
Imanishi's first album for the label, presenting eleven miniatures built from small sounds drawn from his immediate environment: paper, objects, radio, field recording, microphone. The work is abstract in vocabulary but warm and slow in effect, a deliberate counter-position to bombast. Its strength lies in the precision with which discrete, unspectacular materials are placed within reduced frames, locating the music in the lineage of Japanese onkyō and post-Schaefferian micro-concrete.
You Are My Everlovin'
Philosopher, musician and anti-art activist, Henry Flynt has long foregone the academicism often associated with "serious music" in favor of a uniquely intuitive, emotional approach to composition. In the 1960s and 1970s he was a part of NYC's vibrant avant-garde scene, studying with Hindustani singer Pandit Pran Nath and developing his own proprietary technique on violin. You Are My Everlovin', Flynt's first published musical work, finds the composer in peak form at a lower Manhattan loft in la…

Oaxaca Dawn | Bamboo
**Edition of 250** Elevator Bath's ongoing series of picture disc LPs (each record being adorned with full-color artwork by the recording artist) continues with Tom Recchion's lovely 'Oaxaca Dawn | Bamboo.' Originally slated for release nearly ten years ago, this pair of humble field recordings is now finally available. 'Oaxaca Dawn' and 'Bamboo' are two raw, unadulterated, and unpretentious snapshots of specific moments in time and space: the early morning cracking of dawn in Oaxaca, Mexico and…
Vital - The Complete Collection 1987-1995
Massive edition, 580 pages, hardcover. Frans de Waard published Vital, a fanzine for electronic and electroacoustic music, from 1987 to 1995. It was a low-budget, Xeroxed publication, bearing the revolutionary instruction: ‘No Copyright Publication. Reprint Now!’ It featured interviews with Asmus Tietchens, O Yuki Conjugate, Merzbow, P16.D4, Pierre Henry, Jim O’Rourke, Brume, Döc Wor Mirran and many others, hosted discussions on copyright, plagiarism and plunderphonics, house music, ambient musi…
Ottomani
Ottomani is a project conceived by ADN and four of their friend musicians. Riccardo Sinigaglia, who had his debut album "Riflessi" on ADN. Ruggero Tajè, who made his first solo CD "Antologica 1976-1999) on ADN. Silvio Linardi & Matteo Uggeri who also had many releases on ADN. The concept was that all the four musicians had to create a basic track, that had to be enriched in three different passages by the other three musicians. After that the procedded track was returned to creator who was in ch…

The band unites members from some of the most distinctive underground projects of the past decade, Enhet För Fri Musik (Discreet), Skeppet, Frihet, Neutral, Leda (Knotwilg), and Kröppskanedom (Morc) to name a few.

Together, they form a…
A Frauta De Pã
Big tip! Fifty years on, and it still sounds like a secret. Carlos Walker's A Frauta de Pã remains one of those rare Brazilian albums that collectors circle obsessively, its original RCA Victor pressings commanding reverence - and prices - entirely disproportionate to the world's awareness of it. That wait is now over.
Recorded in 1975, when Walker was just 19 years old, A Frauta de Pã arrived at a precise confluence in Brazilian music - that charged mid-decade moment when MPB (Música Popular Br…
